Contact information visible in the appointments of the Networking
One of the significant advantages of having Networking at your events is to facilitate the generation of interpersonal relationships among your attendees; in this way, they can enhance the opportunities they find when attending your events. We have enabled an option that allows your attendees who have appointments scheduled in the Networking to view the contact information of the person with whom they have an appointment, either virtually or In-person.
Follow-up to the Networking in Hybrid events
At Eventtia, we understand that unexpected situations are part of the execution stage of the events, which is why we want you to have as much control over the meetings scheduled virtually at the Networking in your hybrid events.
From the Networking module - Participant Profile tap in the backoffice, you will be able to view and access the links of your participants' calls. Thus, in your role as event administrator, you will be able to attend to possible requirements and/or difficulties.
Custom Surveys
At Eventtia we understand the great opportunities generated when you can design your events wholly personalized with your brand; we have enabled the event banner to be visible within the survey when you send it to your attendees by email.
Limit the number of meetings per type of participant
Networking is currently one of the main tools to generate valuable connections for you and your attendees. Achieving perfect planning and organization of it is one of the main objectives of our platform; that is why we have added for you, within the Registration module – the General Information tab, an option that allows you to limit the number of appointments by type of a participant that has a Networking profile associated with it.

Being able to visualize in real-time the development of the activities of your event, regardless of the modality (In-person, Virtual or Hybrid). As well as knowing data on the number of active attendees, and making live announcements, among others, are the improvements that Eventtia brings you through the Control Board module - “Event Launch Commander” option, we want to support you as an administrator of your event so that you optimize all the opportunities that bring data that had not previously been explored or were not easily visualized in the execution stage of your event.

New Q&A Module
Continuing with the line of the importance of interaction with the attendees and obtaining data during your events. Eventtia brings you a new Questions and Answers module. This module allows participants to submit the questions they have for the speakers in each session of the event, participants can also "like" the questions of most interest. In addition to this, in In-person events, you can avoid having a person walking around the room with a microphone to that attendees can ask their questions.

The new functionality does not show past activities in the registration form
At Eventtia, we understand the importance of a correct presentation of your event’s information for your attendees and to avoid confusion, especially in the registration and payment of activities. That is why we have created the option of not showing past activities in the registration form, which have already happened according to the date on which an attendee is registering during the execution of your event. In this way, only present and future activities related to the current registration date will be visible in the Registration Form when your participant’s register.

To do this, you need to use the ‘Check-in’ and ‘Check-out’ options, where they will be able to see the contact details and all the number of participants registered for each activity.
2. To make it easier to search for activities, we have added an option for you to filter an activity by its name or date.
Upgrades to the Virtual Stage
In search of providing a better experience for users and in the case of events and activities that have face-to-face, virtual and hybrid components, we have developed the following improvements:
We have launched a PWA (Progressive Web App) which allows users to have direct access from their smartphone to the content of their events. Additionally, once logged in with this PWA, they will be able to access the information last seen in offline mode (without internet).
Understanding the demand for hybrid formats, face-to-face and virtual, the platform will now allow you to customise your needs according to the type of event the client requires and this, in turn will allow for a better configuration and user experience.
We invite you to browse the platform and learn about these new features. If you have any doubt, we will be very attentive to guide you.
Restrict networking access on the Virtual Stage for participants who haven’t paid and/or are awaiting acceptance
We’ve added a new access restriction to networking on the Virtual Stage for participants who have yet to pay or be validated. This new feature means that this type of participant will be unable to schedule, receive or confirm meeting appointments. Instead, their agendas will be hidden and counterparts who have paid or been validated will not be able to book meetings with them.
Adyen - New payment gateway for your events
: Eventtia is happy to announce that it’s now providing a new integration with the Adyen payment platform, allowing companies to accept payments, protect revenue and control their finances with a single system. The solution is available in more than 30 currencies and operates in countries including: the USA, Canada, Brazil, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, United Arab Emirates and more.
To activate this option, you need to go the initial setup of your event, as seen in the image below:
Choose which custom fields can be edited by participants inside the Virtual Stage
When it comes to custom fields, there is often important information that you might not want to be edited by the participant. For this reason, we have implemented a solution on the Virtual Stage so that the custom fields can only be edited by the event organizer and not by the attendee.
Social Wall on the Virtual Stage
For the start of the new year, we have added a new “Social Wall” to the Virtual Stage. This new feature will allow event organizers to involve their audience with the brand or event, share moments, create meaningful memories, experiences, and interaction with other attendees.
The main advantages of the tool are that it provides a forum for topics and content to be shared by attendees, shows how the audience is behaving and participating, and encourages engagement social media activity.
Graphic display of checked-in participants
Our check-in app now has a new functionality which allows the organizer to view the number of registered participants for a specific event in real-time.
Hybrid login for Virtual Stage
We have launched a new Hybrid Login feature, which allows clients with SSO to let their attendees log in either with SSO or with any of the other existing login modes, not just one or the other.
Connect multiple Zoom accounts for activities in the Virtual Stage
To give you more freedom with how you organize Zoom activities on the Virtual Stage, it is now possible to configure activities with a different Zoom account that is not linked to the organizer for each transmission. This is in addition to the account that you already have connected by default in integrations.
Pick and choose the events that you want added to the calendar widget
It is now possible to select the events that you want to be shown on the event calendar widget. To do this you just need to pick the events you want to be shown in the back office under event settings. Finally, keep in mind that modifying an event that has already been created takes 30-minutes to be shown on the widget.
Better visibility of registered activities inside the Virtual Stage
To give attendees a clear overview of their agendas and the activities that they are or aren’t registered to, we have improved the visibility of the agenda and activities in which they are participating.
For activities that participants have registered
for, the primary color of the Virtual Stage will appear and depending on their
duration (if the blocks are very small or large), only the registration icon
will appear together with the session’s text. Here are some screenshots below
which show how this looks:
Participant rated view
A filter for rated event participants based on the B2B matchmaking algorithm has been developed.
Rejection and appraisal of new meetings
In the case that a one-to-one meeting is rejected a new appointment slot can be requested at a later time.
General platform fixes
Mitigating bugs and managing continuous improvements is necessary to ensure the best experience for event organisers and their participants. Some of the fixes we made include:
- The location now appears in workshop details when clicking on an activity in the program.
- The view of inactive events pages has been adjusted for when the virtual stage is not configured from the back office.
- Custom registration fields can now be displayed under attendee profiles in the virtual stage.
Zoom Integration
In order to make it easier to create activities that require the use of Zoom, we have made an enhancement that will allow organizers to better manage their Zoom accounts.
In order to create your meetings and webinars through Zoom, it is necessary to do so using JWT credentials. However, we understand that this can generate limitations since not all users have access to these.
This improvement now allows an account user to enter the credentials and this integration will be available to all account users, which means that you will not have to enter this data in each activity.
The first thing to do is go to the "Users" menu located in the upper right part of the screen.
Once here, you will find the "Account Integrations" tab and then click on the Zoom icon.
Finally, you must enter the JWT credentials of the Zoom account that you want to associate.
Now you can create activities only by selecting the associated account, which will facilitate the task of event organizers.
Sponsors Module: Registration for Activities
Sponsors want to keep track of the participants attending their activities. This can allow them to better prepare their presentation prior to the day of the event, in a way they can generate better engagement.
This is why we enabled a new feature which will let them set up a registration for their activities, as well as setting up a limit for the number of participants they want to host.
For this, they must go to their Sponsors Editor, create an activity, and at the bottom of the menu they will be able to activate or deactivate the registration feature. This way, participants will be able to register to these activities through the Virtual Stage.
Networking Meetings: : Improvements and Updates for One-on-One Meetings
We want your participants' experience to always be the best, which is why in order for them to make sure that all the elements for their appointments are working well, we have added validation for their one-to-one meetings.
For appointments to take place with no issues, participants need to grant camera and microphone permissionions.
Additionally, participants can set the background with the images provided by Twilio.
The meeting platform will allow you to have up to 9 participants in a call.
With these new updates, you will be able to improve your connectivity experience and speed.
